Final analysis report

Bias, Coverage, MSE

Scenario 1.1

All treatments have equal effects: Tj = 37.5%, j = A, B, C, D

Scenario 1.2

Treatment B is better than treatments A, C and D: \(T_B = 35\%\); and \(T_j = 45\%\), \(j = A, C, D\)

Scenario 1.3

All 4 treatments have different effects (small difference): \(T_A = 30\%\); \(T_B = 35\%\); \(T_C = 40\%\); \(T_D = 45\%\)

Scenario 1.4

All 4 treatments have different effects (large difference): TA = 30%; TB = 40%; TC = 50%; TD = 60%

Scenario 1.5

All 4 treatments have different effects (small difference): \(T_A = 35\%\); \(T_B = 30\%\); \(T_C = 45\%\); \(T_D = 40\%\)
